I love my barefoot spa. My wife and I use it as often as possible, plus it’s large size is great for parties and entertaining which we do a lot of. We use it year round, especially during the winter months. Purchased in 2010, and I have had only minimal problems. It requires very little maintenance which I have been very pleased with over the years compared to my old one we bought at costco that broke down after about 3 years and soon after turned in to an oversized bird bath in my backyard!
